S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero, Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo
If I thought that my answer was to someone Who might one day return up to the world, This flame without more flickering would stand still. However, since no one ever turned back, alive, From this abyss — should what I hear be true — Without the fear of infamy, I answer you.
